Lincoln is a small city located about ten miles north of Roseville and thirty miles north of Sacramento. Primarily a residential suburb, much of the city’s landscape consists of low-key neighborhoods surrounding Lincoln Hills Golf Club. The cozy Downtown district along Lincoln Boulevard exhibits a classic small-town aesthetic, with locally-owned favorites like Awful Annie’s Country Harvest Bakery operating out of historic storefronts.
Small public parks dot the community, ensuring that virtually everyone has a tranquil greenspace within just a few blocks of home. The close proximity to Roseville allows you to easily take advantage of the more extensive shopping, dining, and entertainment options in the neighboring city, and the state capital is at your fingertips as well.
